Tasting first light drops - Haiku 'H'

Courtesy






Piercing sight hunts hard
Igniting through murky cage
Tasting first light drops

~

Gates of compassion
Revelation kills smugness
Peace, hunter's new chase










When a person has been in darkness for a very long time, even the slightest hint of light can shake their whole belief system. It might either put them in stubborn denial or may show them a path towards light, which will release them from the cage they have built for themselves!


This Haiku is written for the April A2Z Heights at Haiku Heights. The prompt for the day is 'HUNTER'.
